Is the anubia directly into the substrate?

It might look really nice if you laggy band it to one side of the wood and let it attach!

You need to seperate your hairgrass otherwise it will become an algae magnet. Should palnt little clumps around 5 cm apart. Wouldnt want you to waste your money on plants now!

 

[fishfishfish]

will it hurt it too bad if some roots ripped off?its in one of those pot thing and i just cut off the end.

i have java fern attached to one end but i might move it too the other end of the wood cuz its in a big gap.the anubias would slip right in.its A nana BTW

I recognised it from mine.

Plants with roots often benefit from a little root trimming when you move them becaus it supposedly engourages new growth (or at least that is what I read)

when I moved home I trimmed the swords roots down to about 1 inch long (and you know how long they get) and now the damn thing are a foot tall and I am thinking of getting rid of them lol.

I did this with Vallisinera Spiralis Leopard at the same time and these are sending runners out everywhere now (I want them too unlike the swords)
